We have been beaten by a better team, 39% possession at home says it all really. We need to rebuild but who would you keep from this team? For me we need to rebuild around Fabregas, Costa, Willian, Kenedy, Traore. Please don't even bring Hazard into this discussion, for me he is gone, he showed that on and off the pitch this season. Hope he has a good Euro and we can get good money for him. The back 4 is a disaster, I only have hope for Azpi, Big mistske with Tibo over Cech, but I think we should keep Tibo, there is 50 -50 chance he would regain his form, but until he does, I would play Begovic. Pedro? Maybe. Oscar - i lost any hope so if Juve offers good money maybe we should sell. Matic and Mikel next season again? Then brace yourself for a few more years without CL.

 

Really difficult task ahead for the new manager, I just hope we don't slip into mediocrity for a long period, this season has been really painful to watch

Why did we start with both Pedro and Hazard? They're not in best form right now. Traore starting on the left could've been worth a try. 

Why did we start with Kenedy instead of Rahman, who was one of the best players in the first leg?

 

As we played I constantly had the feeling that we just weren't good enough. Maybe that means that we just aren't good enough. I don't know. It's just that losing to PSG, again, is a somewhat bad feeling. And on top of that they won the game but they never had to go full speed.

Why is Kenedy getting stick tonight. I thought he was excellent & a certain star in the making. No doubt we'll loan him out then sell him.

Childish mistakes in defence. We have (had) reputation for out great defence for years. Shame Willian or Hazard didnt score when result was 1:1. PSG was better side but Chelsea is Chelsea, we know what we can do as underdogs. Think Guus could try playing Mikel with Oscar in middle where he has played for Brazil national team, Fabregas could got more freedom. Pedro was poor but still love his attitude.

That mistake from Dave for PSG 2nd goal was an absolute shock.  He rarely loses his head like that!

On my way back home with a weird feeling. I think we played well, certainly we were a match to them until Costa's injury and their second goal. Btw, was it off side? I was on that side of the stand and it seemed to all of us that the line man was completely wrongly placed and it was an off side. Any way, after that one all the good work was gone. I enjoyed the line up with Kenedy. I wouldn't have played Hazard, though. I think both Kenedy and Traore are future first team players.

The best team in both legs went through, but we weren't that bad and were a match to them. They are not that good, and will not be serious contendants to win it. But they'll be lucky and Platini will pull out the Wolfsburg or Benfica ball.

So no Champions League next year, then the Wembley move.

 

How many years until the next Champions League game at Stamford Bridge?

went out of this when we should of, reality is as somebody mentioned earlier, PSG would beat any current side in the prem without too much difficulty.

Lets move on to the FA cup, that unlike the CL we are very capable of winning

Cruel game, right?

Yup. Ah well win some lose some.

 

No shame in losing to PSG, they are a good side who have invested heavily in bringing in quality players. We topped out group and got beat by a a good side over two legs, it happens.

 

The shame is our woeful standing in the league that is going to cost us our place in Europe next season.

Beaten by the better team, we could all see that. The players gave it their all and tried their best. No shame in losing to a better team.

I don't think Kennedy worked, he seemed all over the place and out of position.

Mikel, Costa, Willian, Fabregas Cahill has good games.

Hazard and Pedro played ok.

Dave and Kennedy played poorly.

Time for a serious rebuild. Tonight shows that we've been penny pinching for too long and we've fallen behind the elite.

I read your posts and imagine you with the accent of the undertaker in 'Allo Allo'. It's very funny. Thank you!

When you look at the teams that are through Real, PSG, Wolfsburg and Benfica - I can see us living with the latter 2 but we aren't anywhere near Real's quality and tonight showed that this year PSG are a more complete team. It felt a bit like watching us in Europe about 15 years ago, we were hoping against hope that we could make it but we fell short.

Did Hazard actually swap his shirt for a PSG one at half time? Did not realize that before someone mentioned it now but how dare he if thats true.

Yes he did. He swapped shirts with ( I think ) Di Maria as they were walking off the pitch. I rarely publicly criticise a Chelsea player but I will on this occasion.

 

He has been woeful this season and his attitude and application have in my opinion stunk the place out. The sooner he goes the better and I make no apologies for saying so.

I didn't think PSG were anything special, they'd be a top four PL team but no more than that.  They were full of mistakes tonight and will get beaten by better teams than us, they've got lucky that they've played the worst Chelsea team for years.

Di Maria gave him a nice handshake and hug on the pitch as well when hazard was subbed off.  If you don't think Hazard is gone to PSG you are crazy.  

We were beaten by a better side missing their best player. We weren't unlucky, we weren't cheated, we were beaten fair and square by a better team and decisively. That's the first thing that needs to be said.

 

 

Secondly, this Chelsea team is not very good. The league position isn't a lie and I think you put any coach in charge of that team and you get a similar performance. It would be simplistic to say it was gutless or cowardly because there was some fight there but it all disappeared as soon as Costa went off. The air was sucked out of the stadium because it's become increasingly clear that this guy is our most important player and the only one with any heart.

 

But most importantly, how on Earth did we get to this point? How did we go from being the best team in Europe to this? How did we go from having leaders throughout the spine of the team to having a team without a spine?

 

That wasn't a Chelsea team out there tonight. That wasn't the Chelsea spirit which fought right to the end. It had none of the soul, none of the passion, none of the guts and to see people say that we'll be back in a year and a half as if it's our God-given right is incredible. This club is a shell of a great club and not only that, but the financial advantage that helped build a great team doesn't seem to be there anymore.

 

We traded one plan for Jose's plan and then didn't back Jose. The inability of this owner and this board to commit to a single vision or philosophy beyond 'SUCCESS NOW' has seen us become a club without an identity on the pitch and the sh*t-scary thing isn't that it happened over the course of half-a-decade, but that I don't think there is a single person at the club who knows how to fix it.

This team just has no soul, costa is the only one I ever see playing with real passion.

No he's another mercenary that showed absolutely nothing when we needed him to desperately perform at the start of the season but instead he came back this season overweight and unmotivated.

Heading home, no hard luck story...we are what we are, not very good...thought we fought hard at times, but Costa injury was the end of it...and we always looked likely to concede...

My main anger is reserved for the powers that be...the lack of quality signings last summer fcuked us from the start...summed up by Traore coming on for Costa tonight, whereas PSG had Cavani...how has it come to this?

Basically, we want a small squad with players that can play in multiple positions. The amount of quality players we have sold in recent season's is ridiculous. I would much rather have the players than the money, especially when that money is spent on players like Salah and Cuadrado and then we loan players like Falcao and Pato. Since FFP came in we have played things far too safe. How ironic, by spending less, it's actually going to cost us more. We will have no Champions League football next season and we are finishing the season as a mid table side. The people at the top have made some unbelievable errors.

Knew it was coming. Disappointed, but we got what we deserved. Based on our play this season, we are clearly second best to PSG...and a fairytale run was incredibly unlikely given there are better teams than PSG still in the tournament.

 

I just hope that after all the dealings in the summer, we're left with a strong enough squad to qualify for the season after.
